Cool wedding planning resources I made

2026 marks my tenth year as a wedding planner.

What have I done in a decade? Written a book, run a podcast, co-founded a vendor organization, and planned a whole lot of weddings. Use this dark magic for your own benefit thanks to my gallery of (newly refreshed) wedding planning resources.

New last month: 2025’s most-read resources.

In case you need a jumpstart for your planning.

Are you hiring? I have a vendor referral list.

I also adhere to a strict code of conduct in terms of who I recommend and why. Read more about both.

Gentle reminder: I’m taking on one, maybe two, more 2026 weddings.

Here’s where you can contact me if you’re interested in a spot. I’d love to see a May, June, or September 2026 lead for the Portland metro area. (I’m also booking 2027, if that’s you!)

“Beth truly was the best investment we made for our big day!”

That’s 189 five-star reviews and counting.

If you’re getting married in a Portland park this year, this venue will cover your permit fee.

The PDX Alt Wed Fair is back.

It’s in March.

Psst — Per my code of conduct, I don’t take kickbacks or other things of value for my referrals.

Wedding vendors, this is for you

Wedding vendor meet-ups are happening. I hosted one in Portland earlier this week; the next one is scheduled for April. Also, a gentle reminder that I send a monthly newsletter for vendors, by vendors.

Weddings take a lot of work! For a little extra help, consider:

• asking me a question for free

• using this gallery of free resources

• reading these articles

• reading my book

• renting my brain for an hour

• hiring me to coordinate
